News from the Ranch

I haven’t done a Stash Report in over a month! Seems that once I got myself back in the black, I decided to just take it easy . . .

For a while, nothing exciting happened, but I have been keeping track, and decided maybe I’d better check in and make a stash confession, so here goes:

Used since my last report: 5.5 yd

Used year to date: 207.37 yds

Added since my last report: 14.58 yds

Added year to date: 211.67 yds

Net used in 2010: -4.3 yds

Yes indeed, I’ve had a backslide, although not too serious at this point. Part of what got added was fabric I had taken out before and then not used, so I put it back. It’s not like I went on a buying spree or anything. And it seems as if I haven’t even been doing anything — only 5.5 yards in over a month? What’s that all about? And . . . do you realize how close we are to the end of the year? When you put it that way, I’m not doing so well . . .

Now, now. Don’t be so hard on yourself. You’re finishing up a ton of things that have been counted previously. There will be a huge surge in your yardage used as soon as you start something new or grab something for a backing and I’m thinking you’ve accomplished a lot when you look at the fact that you’ve used over 200 yards so far this year! That’s the only number I want to keep track of next year.
